I love the way they just handwaved those kinds of things, amyth. Like having a totally fortuitous clairvoyant on board didn't hurt either.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh yeah, I loved that, too. No need to explain, it just is.

I saw Snowpiercer yesterday! It was funny how it inspired a range of reactions from everyone I went with. (Some baffled, one enraged.) Aside from the parts where I was watching through my hands due to the violence, I enjoyed it and I'm still thinking about it. It's definitely an experience.
I'm seeing How to Train Your Dragon 2 tonight after work.

I was totally baffled by one scene: when they entered the train car with the guys with the axes and they were...gutting a fish?
The funny part was, it seemed to me like the people from the back of the train were just as baffled. They were looking at them, like, "Whuh?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Zen, you mean Edge of Tomorrow?

Well, yeah. Thanks, chrismg. I'll go fix it. (For posterity, I wrote Edge of Darkness, for some reason.)

The only thing I could think at the time was that it was some kind of ritual. It looked like they were doing it to coat the edges of the blades with blood, symbolic in some way? Or maybe it had something to do with the night vision goggles so they could see the edge of their blades? Pure conjecture, but otherwise just more stuff to hand wave. A second viewing might shed some light on it, but I don't think I'm ready for that just yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just that the previews annoyed me. Partially because it's an E.T rip-off.
Ok. I was wondering if there was some controversy I had missed. The better half wants to take our son to see it. They'll probably catch a matinee while I'm at work since I have zero interest.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We're seeing Earth to Echo at a WGA screening this weekend, so if it's any good I'll let folks know. I personally hated ET with a white hot heat (I think I was too old when it came out and the overt manipulations were too evident), so I am heading into this redux with no real expectations either way.
